Anker SOLIX is one of the four brands we follow most closely, and its lineup has changed a lot. The small C300X, the C800 Plus with its camping lights and the F2000 are gone from Anker's US store. What is left, new, runs from the 1kWh C1000 to the 3.84kWh F3800 Plus. Here are the five models we would pick today, each for a different job.
We compared every Anker SOLIX power station sold new in the US on September 30, 2026, using Anker's own spec sheets and our runtime formula. BackupPowerHub doesn't run lab tests (see our editorial guidelines), so every runtime on this page is a calculation you can check. Prices update automatically from Anker's store.
- C2000 Gen 2: best overall, 2,048Wh in 41.7 lb, expandable to 4kWh.
- F3800: best for whole-home backup, 6,000W at 120V and 240V.
- F3000: best for RVs and essential home backup, 3,600W through a 30A RV outlet.
- C1000 Gen 2: best portable pick, full in 49 minutes from the wall.
- C1000: best expandable portable, up to 2,112Wh with one battery.

#1 Anker SOLIX C2000 Gen 2: Best Overall
Anker SOLIX C2000 Gen 2
2,048Wh · 2,400W output · Lowest tracked: $849.99 (Oct 7)
Lowest we have tracked
2,048Wh and 2,400W in 41.7 lb, with a 10 ms switchover.
See the deal on Anker SOLIX Read our reviewThe C2000 Gen 2 is the Anker we would recommend to most buyers. It holds 2,048Wh, enough for about 15 hours of a full-size fridge on our conservative math, and delivers 2,400W with a 4,000W peak. It switches to battery in 10 ms when the grid drops, so a fridge, a router or a CPAP keeps running without a restart.
It does that in a 41.7 lb box (18.1 × 9.8 × 10.1 in) with no wheels, light enough to carry from the garage to the kitchen. Anker says it draws only 9W at idle, which helps on long outages. From the wall it refills in 88 minutes, or in 58 minutes with AC and solar together, and it accepts up to 800W of solar. A TT-30 socket covers a travel trailer, and one BP2000 Gen 2 battery takes it to about 4kWh.
It replaces the F2000, which Anker no longer sells: see our C2000 Gen 2 vs F2000 comparison.

#2 Anker SOLIX F3800: Best for Whole-Home Backup
Anker SOLIX F3800
3,840Wh · 6,000W output · Lowest tracked: $1,799.99 (Oct 8)
Lowest we have tracked
3,840Wh and 6,000W at 120V and 240V, expandable to 26.9kWh.
See the deal on Anker SOLIX Read our reviewThe F3800 is the only pick here with a 240V output from a single unit. It delivers 6,000W at 120V and 240V (9,000W surge) through six 20A outlets, a NEMA 14-50 and an L14-30. That 240V side can feed 240V appliances and, through a transfer switch installed by a licensed electrician, your home's circuits.
It starts at 3,840Wh and takes up to six BP3800 batteries of 3,840Wh each, for 26.9kWh per unit. Two F3800 units linked together reach 12kW and 53.8kWh. It accepts up to 2,400W of solar and switches over in under 20 ms. The cost of that power is size: 132.3 lb on built-in wheels.
The F3800 Plus ($2,269.99) adds generator bypass, up to 3,200W of solar and a TT-30 socket: see it on Anker SOLIX.

#3 Anker SOLIX F3000: Best for RVs and Essential Home Backup
Anker SOLIX F3000
3,072Wh · 3,600W output · Lowest tracked: $1,299.99 (Oct 8)
Lowest we have tracked
3,072Wh and a 30A RV outlet rated at 3,600W, on wheels.
See the deal on Anker SOLIX Read our reviewThe F3000 is built around the 30A RV plug. Its TT-30R outlet delivers up to 3,600W, the full rating of that plug, and an Anderson port feeds 12V gear directly. With a TT-30 charging cable, it can also charge at up to 3,600W from a 120V generator, useful at a campground or during a long outage.
It holds 3,072Wh and delivers 3,600W (7,200W surge) at 120V. It takes up to 2,400W of solar through two inputs, one of them high-voltage (up to 165V), and Anker says it refills in under 2 hours in optimal sun. It rolls on wheels with a pull rod and weighs 91.5 lb. For 240V, you need two units linked through Anker's Double Voltage Hub (7,200W).
Three BP3000 batteries take one F3000 to 12,288Wh: about 87 hours of a full-size fridge on our formula, or about 42 hours of outage essentials.

#4 Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2: Best Portable Pick
Anker SOLIX C1000 Gen 2
1,024Wh · 2,000W output · Lowest tracked: $469.99 (Oct 8)
Lowest we have tracked
1,024Wh, full in 49 minutes from the wall, 24.9 lb.
See the deal on Anker SOLIX Read our reviewThe C1000 Gen 2 is the Anker to carry. At 24.9 lb it is the lightest pick here, and it refills fastest: 49 minutes from empty to full in UltraFast mode (1,600W, turned on in the Anker app). That matters when the grid comes back for an hour between storms, or at a campsite with a short hookup.
It delivers 2,000W with a 3,000W peak, switches over in 10 ms and accepts up to 600W of solar (full in about 1.8 hours, per Anker). Anker rates the battery at 4,000 cycles to 80%. The limits: it cannot take an extra battery, and it has no built-in light. It replaces the C800 and C800 Plus, which Anker no longer sells.

Lowest we have tracked
1,056Wh now, 2,112Wh with one BP1000 battery.
See the deal on Anker SOLIX Read our reviewThe original C1000 is still on sale, and it keeps two things the Gen 2 dropped. It takes the BP1000 expansion battery, which doubles it to 2,112Wh for longer trips or outages. And it has a built-in light bar, handy around a campsite.
It holds 1,056Wh, delivers 1,800W (2,400W surge) through six AC outlets and refills in under an hour from the wall (80% in 43 minutes, per Anker). It accepts up to 600W of solar, weighs 28.4 lb and carries a 5-year warranty. Against the Gen 2, it is slower to switch over (20 ms) and a little heavier.

Runtime Estimates for Each Model
How long each pick runs a few common loads on one charge, before any solar or battery add-on.
The 0.85 factor covers inverter losses. "Outage essentials" is a fridge, a Wi-Fi router, a few LED lights and phone charging, about 250W on average. For your own mix of devices, use our power station calculator.
| Model | CPAP, no humidifier (40W) | Laptop (60W) | Full-size fridge (120W) | Outage essentials (250W) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| C2000 Gen 2 (2,048Wh) | About 44 h | About 29 h | About 15 h | About 7 h |
| F3800 (3,840Wh) | About 82 h | About 54 h | About 27 h | About 13 h |
| F3000 (3,072Wh) | About 65 h | About 44 h | About 22 h | About 10 h |
| C1000 Gen 2 (1,024Wh) | About 22 h | About 15 h | About 7.5 h | About 3.5 h |
| C1000 (1,056Wh) | About 22 h | About 15 h | About 7.5 h | About 3.5 h |
Rounded to the nearest half hour under 10 hours and to the nearest hour above. A fridge's real average draw depends on its age and use: an efficient model can average half of our 120W.
Also Worth a Look
- Anker SOLIX F3800 Plus ($2,269.99 on Anker SOLIX): the F3800 with generator bypass, up to 3,200W of solar and up to 6,000W of AC input through its generator port. Same 3,840Wh and 6,000W, 136.7 lb.
- Anker SOLIX F2600 ($1,999.99 on Anker SOLIX): 2,560Wh and 2,400W, expandable to 4,608Wh. The F3000 now offers more capacity, output and solar input. See our F2600 review.
- Anker SOLIX C1000X ($599.99 on Anker SOLIX): Anker lists the same core specs as the C1000 (1,056Wh, 1,800W, expandable to 2,112Wh). Compare both prices before you choose.
- Anker SOLIX S2000: a 2,010Wh unit designed around a refrigerator, with a very low idle draw. Our price tracker can't follow it; see it in our refrigerator backup guide.
- Anker SOLIX E10: a whole-home battery system rather than a portable station. See our E10 review and E10 vs F3800.
Where Did the C300X, C800 Plus and F2000 Go?
Earlier versions of this ranking included three models that Anker no longer sells new in the US:
- F2000: Anker now sends its F2000 page to the C2000 Gen 2, which keeps the same 2,048Wh in a much lighter box.
- C800 Plus (and the C800): both pages now lead to the C1000 Gen 2. The C800 Plus's 3-mode camping lights have no direct successor; the C1000 keeps a light bar.
- C300X: every Anker SOLIX station under 1kWh (C300X, C300, C300 DC, C200X, C200 DC) was sold out new on Anker's US store on September 30, 2026. Only refurbished units were left.
If you need something smaller than 1kWh today, look beyond Anker in our compact power station guide.
How to Choose Your Anker SOLIX
Camping, van, a night of backup
About 1kWh: the C1000 Gen 2 if weight and charging speed matter most, the C1000 if you may add a battery later.
A full day of essentials
About 2kWh: the C2000 Gen 2, still carryable, with room to grow to 4kWh.
RV or multi-day outages
About 3kWh and a 30A outlet: the F3000, on wheels, with 2,400W of solar input.
240V loads and home circuits
The F3800 or F3800 Plus, with a transfer switch installed by an electrician.
Three questions narrow it down quickly. How many hours must it last without recharging? Will you carry it, or roll it? Do you need 240V or a 30A RV plug? The Anker SOLIX buying guide goes deeper, and our expansion systems guide covers the extra batteries.
How We Picked
We started from every Anker SOLIX portable power station sold new on Anker's US store on September 30, 2026, and kept one model per use case. We compared them on:
Capacity and expansion
Usable energy on one charge, and how far extra batteries take it.
Output
Continuous and peak power, 120V or 240V, and special outlets such as TT-30.
Recharging
Wall, solar and generator input, using Anker's published figures.
Portability
Weight, size and whether it rolls on wheels.
Specs come from Anker's US product pages. Runtimes are our calculations with the formula above. Prices come from Anker's store and refresh several times a day. For the whole brand, see our Anker SOLIX review.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which Anker SOLIX power station is the best?
For most people, the Anker SOLIX C2000 Gen 2. It holds 2,048Wh, delivers 2,400W, switches to battery in 10 ms and weighs 41.7 lb, and one extra battery takes it to 4kWh. For whole-home backup with 240V output, pick the F3800. For an RV with a 30A plug, the F3000. For a light 1kWh unit, the C1000 Gen 2, or the C1000 if you want to add a battery later.
What happened to the Anker SOLIX C300X, C800 Plus and F2000?
They are no longer sold new on Anker's US store. Anker now redirects its F2000 page to the C2000 Gen 2, and its C800 and C800 Plus pages to the C1000 Gen 2. The C300X, C300, C200X and other models under 1kWh were sold out new in late September 2026, with only refurbished units left.
C1000 or C1000 Gen 2: which one should I buy?
The C1000 Gen 2 charges faster (full in 49 minutes in UltraFast mode, against under an hour for the C1000), delivers more power (2,000W against 1,800W), switches over faster (10 ms against 20 ms) and weighs less (24.9 lb against 28.4 lb). The C1000 is the one to choose if you may need more capacity later: it takes the BP1000 battery, up to 2,112Wh, while the Gen 2 cannot be expanded. The C1000 also keeps a built-in light bar.
Which Anker SOLIX can run a whole house?
None of them runs a whole house on its own, but the F3800 comes closest in this lineup. It delivers 6,000W at 120V and 240V and expands to 26.9kWh with six BP3800 batteries, or to 53.8kWh and 12kW with two units. To power home circuits, it needs a transfer switch installed by a licensed electrician. Anker's E10 is a separate whole-home system.
Can an Anker SOLIX power station run a CPAP?
Yes. Using our formula (capacity × 0.85 ÷ watts), a CPAP drawing 40W without its humidifier runs about 22 hours on the C1000 or C1000 Gen 2, about 44 hours on the C2000 Gen 2, about 65 hours on the F3000 and about 82 hours on the F3800. A heated humidifier can double or triple the draw, so check your machine's power supply rating.
Which Anker SOLIX is best for an RV?
The F3000. Its TT-30R outlet delivers up to 3,600W, the full rating of a 30A RV plug, and it has an Anderson DC port, wheels and a pull rod. The C2000 Gen 2 also has a TT-30 socket (up to 2,400W) in a 41.7 lb box. More options in our Anker SOLIX RV guide.
Can I add batteries to an Anker SOLIX power station?
Four of the five picks, yes. The C1000 takes one BP1000 (2,112Wh in total). The C2000 Gen 2 takes one BP2000 Gen 2 (about 4kWh). The F3000 reaches 12,288Wh with three BP3000 batteries. The F3800 takes up to six BP3800 batteries (26.9kWh). The C1000 Gen 2 cannot be expanded.
Is the Anker SOLIX F2600 still worth buying?
It is still sold, but the F3000 does the same job with more capacity (3,072Wh against 2,560Wh), more output (3,600W against 2,400W) and more solar input (2,400W against 1,000W). Compare both prices on Anker's store before choosing.
